Scarlett (Second Edition) by Karima Saad Usman novel Chapter 48

“Scarlett, please,” he whispered, his voice heavy with emotion. He turned me gently to face him, his eyes searching mine, his expression filled with concern. “Why are you crying?”

‘I held his gaze, staring into those deep, forest–green eyes, seeing both his pain and his resolve. “I want to believe you,” I confessed,

my voice barely above a whisper. “But… I’m too broken. I’m afraid.”

He looked at me, his eyes misting over, darkening as his wolf came forward. “Do you feel my heart?“, His wolf asked me softly, his words resonating with a depth that made me want to believe. Despite my fears, the sincerity in his voice was undeniable.

Maxwell’s eyes softened, returning to their usual green. “I’ll never hurt you again, Scarlett,” he vowed, his voice thick with emotion “My love for you is true. I’ll never give my heart to anyone else. I made mistakes, terrible mistakes, but I’ll spend the rest of my life making it right, if you’ll let me.” He held my face, his gaze unwavering, full of devotion.

Before I could respond, he pressed his lips to mine, a kiss filled with vulnerability and honesty. It was as if he was giving me everything he had, every ounce of love he could muster. His kiss was deep and gentle, and I felt myself surrender, letting the weight of his promises soothe the wounds that had long scarred my heart. 2

When he finally broke the kiss, he rested his forehead against mine, both of us breathing softly, the room filled with a profound, quiet understanding.

“I, Maxwell Grisham, accept you, Scarlett Vladislav, as my mate. I will always be by your side and never betray you. I will shield and

comfort you, and I will never leave. My heart, body, and soul are yours, and I promise I’ll never take them away.”

His voice carried a promise I’d longed to hear, and as his lips met mine in a deep, consuming kiss, a new warmth surged through

1. me. The kiss travelled to my neck, and I felt his wolf’s primal instincts as he held himself back, his control evident even as the

intensity grew between us.

I was overwhelmed, but it felt exhilarating, new, and natural. When his lips teased my nipples through the fabric of my clothes,

sucking on them. I couldn’t suppress the soft moan that escaped my lip. My core clenching, my body arching instinctively, wanting

more of this unfamiliar pleasure.

He placed his hand under my blouse and reached for my breasts. I felt him fondle my nipples with his fingers, and my moan became louder. Maxwell slowly pulled up my shirt to expose my breasts and sucked one of them with his lip. My moans became loud. I was soaking wet between my legs and felt electricity move all over my body. A new fire was ignited in me, and I felt the cord between us strengthen, solidifying as his touch deepened our connection.

“Scarlett,” his voice reached me through the bond, filled with both desire and restraint.

A soft moan was all I could manage in response, every part of me alive with the intensity of the

mom

“I want to give you pleasure tonight. I promise I won’t take your virginity. Is okay?” he asked, his voice soft and reassuring, his

gaze filled with tenderness.

I hesitated only a moment, letting the warmth of his presence, his vow of devotion, and the comfort I felt in his arms guide me. Nodding, a gentle moan escaped my lips as I gave my consent, my trust in him deepening.

He carefully eased down my pyjama shorts, exposing me in the dim, gentle light.
